What is Nuts Balachong?

Balachong is a traditional Burmese condiment made from dried shrimp, garlic, chili, and oil, known for its umami-rich, slightly spicy, and crispy texture. Nuts Balachong takes it a step further by adding roasted nuts, creating a unique combination of crunch, spice, and savory depth.

✔ Versatile Use – Pairs well with rice, noodles, soups, salads, and even sandwiches. 

✔ Protein-Packed & Nutritious – Nuts provide healthy fats, protein, and essential nutrients. 

✔ Long Shelf Life – Stays fresh and flavorful for weeks when stored properly.

This combination of texture, spice, and rich flavor makes Nuts Balachong a must-try for anyone who enjoys bold, crispy toppings.
